Passiflora

by Superstudio
The Passiflora lighting fixture comes from a painted cardboard prototype made for the exhibition “Superarchitettura” [December 1966], a manifesto of Radical Design. The cardboard was replaced with a light–permeable material, transforming Passiflora into a truncated luminous column: a column whose deformed profile wavers between natural and artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguities, corresponding to the statement of intent of Superstudio, summed up in the text “Invention Design and Evasion Design”.

🌼 PASSIFLORA TABLE LAMP BY SUPERSTUDIO

Designed by Superstudio for Poltronova in 1967, Passiflora is a table lamp that imagines a flower growing into a luminous column. Its distorted silhouette floats between the organic and the artificial, challenging the familiar language of lighting and turning an everyday object into an ambiguous presence.

The design originates from a painted cardboard prototype created for the legendary Superarchitettura exhibition in 1966, a manifesto of the emerging Italian Radical Design movement. For Poltronova, cardboard was replaced by a light-permeable material, transforming the original form into the luminous object produced today.

More than an object to illuminate a room, Passiflora creates an atmosphere—transforming light into emotion. Its truncated, almost architectural form plays with scale and perception, while its deliberately artificial interpretation of nature reflects Superstudio’s wider questioning of conventional ideas of objects, interiors and domestic space.

Produced in Italy by Poltronova, Passiflora remains one of the most distinctive examples of Superstudio’s Radical Design, where function, imagery and experimentation come together in a light that is anything but ordinary.

NEW DAY. NEW LIGHT. 🌼✨

Some lights illuminate a room. Others illuminate an idea.

Designed by Superstudio for Poltronova in 1967, Passiflora is far more than a table lamp. Born from a painted cardboard prototype created for the legendary Superarchitettura exhibition (1966), one of the founding manifestos of Radical Design, it transformed an experimental object into a luminous domestic sculpture.

Its deformed column oscillates between nature and artifice, creating an object that is both functional and conceptual. Produced in yellow and opaline white PMMA, Passiflora emits a soft, diffused light while preserving the playful ambiguity that defined Superstudio’s revolutionary approach to design. More than fifty years later, it continues to challenge what a lamp can be.

📍 Made in Italy by Poltronova.

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Passiflora by Superstudio, 1967 — alongside something unexpected.

🌼 The Passiflora lighting fixture comes from a painted cardboard prototype made for the exhibition “Superarchitettura” [December 1966], a manifesto of Radical Design.

🌼 The cardboard was replaced with a light–permeable material, transforming Passiflora into a truncated luminous column: a column whose deformed profile wavers between natural and artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguities, corresponding to the statement of intent of Superstudio, summed up in the text “Invention Design and Evasion Design”.
